I have since read the exact same thing in the CDN dealer information package when the B-Class first came out in 2005. So yeah it is totally galvanised according to this info.

My new B 200 will - for the time being at least - be living outside within 100 m of the Pacific Ocean, so I hope the anti-rust treatment is OK. My 67% galvanised Peugeot 405 has held up very well over the last 19 years.

I may try to re-arrange the interior of my garage to get three cars in there: my 404 C, my smart and the B 200. It is possible but I need to redesign the storage area.

Your photos of the hood look worrying, are those rust stains coming out of the holes, or is it something else?
